Let's first find the equation to find what the population went up to. X, will be the population of last year.
1.15x=76,894
Now, we need x by itself, so we need to divide both sides by 1.15.
76,894÷1.15≈66,864
There are decimals, but for this problem, hae .3478 of a person would not fit.
We can check our answer.
66,864×.15=10,029.6
10,029.6+66,864=76,893.6 (rounds up to 76,864)
So the population of the town last year was about 66,864 (66,864.3478) people.
96 with a remainder of 5.

Short Answer: Yes, the horizontal shift is represented by the vertical asymptote</h3>
A bit of further explanation:
The parent function is y = 1/x which is a hyperbola that has a vertical asymptote overlapping the y axis perfectly. Its vertical asymptote is x = 0 as we cannot divide by zero. If x = 0 then 1/0 is undefined.
Shifting the function h units to the right (h is some positive number), then we end up with 1/(x-h) and we see that x = h leads to the denominator being zero. So the vertical asymptote is x = h
For example, if we shifted the parent function 2 units to the right then we have 1/x turn into 1/(x-2). The vertical asymptote goes from x = 0 to x = 2. This shows how the vertical asymptote is very closely related to the horizontal shifting.

Option D:

Solution:
Given function:

To find the inverse of the function.
<u>Inverse of a function:</u>
<em>If a function f(x) is mapping x to y, then the inverse function of f(x) maps y back to x.</em>

Interchange the variables x and y.

Now, solve for y.
Multiply both sides by (y - 5).

Cancel the common factors, we get

Divide by x on both sides.

Add 5 on both sides.


To make the denominator same, multiply the 2nd term by
.



Option D is the correct answer.
